The Green Bag is a reusable canvas
bag that will help you to say NO to ugly plastic bags, be
kind to the environment and go green.

A lot of plastic bags are used
at all retail outlets in Georgia, and many times when it is unnecessary.
They only serve a short-term purpose of carrying goods from shops to
home, while their lifespan can last somewhere between 15 and 1,000 years.
Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photodegrade - break down into
smaller and smaller toxic particles contaminating the soil and waterways.
The increased number of plastic bags is a real tragedy for Tbilisi and
other urban areas. A large number of plastic bags either end up in dumpsites
serving frequently as “lunch” for livestock, or get burnt thus exposing residents
of the city to a health danger, or are scattered around everywhere.

To
reduce the use of plastic bags, CENN has launched a pilot project
"Discover Alternatives! Say NO to Plastic Bags!". The campaign is the first attempt in
Georgia to speak about the harm of plastic bags and to remind consumers
of existing alternatives.

Discover
canvas bags as comfortable and practical alterative to single use
plastic bags! You can make
Tbilisi a cleaner, nicer and healthier place to live by just being
fashionable and carrying your reusable canvas bag when you go shopping!
